My Last Wedding Cake...

finally, my last wedding cake! This was for a wedding yesterday, and it is actually my favorite cake I've done. The flowers are made from gumpaste. The topsy turvy effect was creatd using styrofoam wedges. Because of the limited setup time I was given, I had to take it almost entirely assembled, which was the most nerve wracking part. So glad to have this one over, now, only cakes for fun!!

First Wedding Cake! (Paid One, That Is!)

This was my first paid gig, this past weekend. I have done two other wedding cakes for family members, but it was exciting to do my first paid one - and very stressful! The florist gave me the flowers the night before, so I took care of arranging the flowers as well. Huge thanks to my husband for being there to help me out and hold me together when I almost lost it when the top tier wouldn't sit right! Cake was almond butter cream, filled with raspberry preserves and raspberry mousse.

Dora Cake

This cake was inspired by cakes made by boween and cakesbyallison - they both do awesome work and I borrowed from both. This was first a 5 year old birthday. The cake was chocolate with cookies and cream filling. It was so much fun to put together!

St. Patrick's Bday Cake

This was for a co-workers 8 year old son - I was kind of tickled, he insisted on a cake with a leprachaun on it (his bday was March 3). I used gold wrapped chocolate coins for accents. The writing was not the neatest, still working on getting that down!
